Taylor Swift fans are convinced her new song ‘CANCELLED!’ is about Chiefs bestie Brittany Mahomes following the latter’s Donald Trump controversy over the summer.
The wife of Kansas City quarterback Patrick has struck up a close friendship with Swift since she began dating (and ultimately got engaged to) fellow Chiefs star Travis Kelce.
And listeners of the pop star’s new album, ‘The Life of a Showgirl’, believe one track in particular is about Brittany.
In the song ‘CANCELLED!’, Swift sings: ‘Good thing I like my friends cancelled // I like them cloaked in Gucci and scandal.’
Swift also says in the song: But one single drop, you’re off the roster // Tone-deaf and hot, let’s f***in’ off her’
The lyrics come months after her friend Brittany came under fire for liking a social media post from Trump, who was then running for his second presidential term.
Fans believe Taylor Swift’s new song ‘CANCELLED!’ is about Brittany Mahomes
The pair have developed a friendship since Swift began dating Travis Kelce two years ago
While it was unclear what Brittany was specifically agreeing with, as Trump’s Instagram post outlined a slew of different GOP platforms, she faced tons of backlash afterwards.
There were also suggestions that the pair had fallen out, with the liberal Swift seemingly on the other end of the political aisle.
Brittany later doubled down on her approval of Trump’s Instagram post by retweeting another post from preacher and author Shane Pruitt.
‘Contrary to the tone of the world today…’ the post began. ‘You can disagree with someone, and still love them. You can have differing views, and still be kind.’
She later hit back at her critics on her Instagram story, writing: ‘I mean honestly, to be a hater as an adult you have to have some deep rooted issues you refuse to heal from childhood,’
As for the Gucci part of Swift’s lyrics, Mahomes was spotted wearing Gucci dresses at both the US Open and Wimbledon last year.
And she was with Swift, Kelce and her husband Patrick at the New York-based tournament as the tight end also appeared to wear Gucci as well.
In the Track by Track version of the album on Amazon Music, Swift explains what ‘CANCELLED!’ is about – without mentioning any of her friends by name.
‘The song ‘CANCELLED!’ is sort of about, you know, having had my own experiences with mass judgment and being at the center of many, you know, dramatic kind of scandalous moments in my career where people were all weighing in at once, or at least it felt like that,’ she said.
‘Having had those experiences, it makes me move through the world a little bit differently. And when other people go through it, you kind of find yourself thinking about how they’re probably going to get smarter because of this. If they can get through it, if they can be tough enough, they can actually learn some things through this process.’
The song references someone wearing Gucci, and Brittany wore a pricey outfit from the brand last year as she attended the US Open with husband Patrick, Swift and Travis Kelce
Swift and Brittany were seen celebrating after the Chiefs beat the Bills back in January
The 14-time Grammy Award winner touches on various topics in her new album, including past relationships, fame, and her current relationship with Kelce
‘And how I don’t naturally just cast people aside just because other people decide they don’t like them. I make my own decisions about people based on how they treat me within my life and their actions. And so this is a song about all those themes.’
Other fans, meanwhile believe the song is about Blake Lively amid her legal battle with Justin Baldoni.
Regardless, Brittany and Swift have seemingly remained friends despite their apparent political differences.
Swift, who endorsed Kamala Harris ahead of the last presidential election, was seen with Brittany during her 30th birthday last month in Nashville.
The 14-time Grammy Award winner was front and center as Brittany celebrated another year around the sun with a girls trip to Tennessee.
In one photo, Swift and Brittany posed together as they enjoyed some celebratory cocktails.
Swift could be leaning her head on Brittany’s shoulder in the sweet moment as they wore matching black outfits.
They will cheer on the Chiefs partners this weekend as they seek their third win of the season against the Jaguars.
